allim Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 Hi all, I am wondering if there is plugin for max like to make all biilboard/plane alway facing the camera, much like the forestpack from itoosoft.com. Currently am doing a architectural still where i place lots of trees n people billboard and would like to quickly change all their facing as I change camera position. Or can it be done in max itself? Any suggestion will be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesTaylor Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 it can be done in max - i think you want to add a "look at" constraint to the planes and set it to look at the camera. it can be found under Animation > Constraints in viz so guess it'll be pretty similar in max.

Ray Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 If you are going to have multiple camera views, link your "look at" constraint to a dummy, then you can link the dummy to your cameras one at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaPixel Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 This option might be out there, but the "Facing" type particle does the same thing. Maybe a particle system with a count of 1, mapped to your liking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajvbochove Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 No Plug-in needed!! Just type Billboard in your Help --> Tutorial Then you get a tutorial that's done with a max script. Max rules! Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
